as Alfie staggered along, this is what happpened next:
His clothes stopped shrinking!
then!
THEY STARTED GROWING!
Alfie breathed a sigh of relief to feel himself loosening up a bit in his clothes.
his shoes were now getting from size 6 to size 9.
Once in the alley, he hid, and stared at his clothes, and gasped. His shirt and coat looked larger than normal.
Then, he heard a rustle noise, and when he looked down, he gasped. his pants had fell down; for they were too big to wear!
ANd his undies were much too big also, so they fell down too.
his shoes were now getting from size 9 to size 12, and they were so big, his feet no longer fit them; and the same was true of his socks.
now in only his expanding shirt and coat, Alfie wriggled his toes, and watched in horror as his clothes rapidly expanded like mad, expanding at least 10 sizes at a time. Looking down at his hands, Alfie saw that all he could see were sleeves.
"this isn't good." Alfie said.
